Kathie Pike requested approval of signage for "Orphaned Overalls". She is
having an existing sign repainted with letters and graphics. Sepler recommended
that a certificate be granted. Discussion ensued concerning the font style -
whether it is appropriate to the period of the building. HPC recommended the
printing style be changed to an older-looking type face. It was pointed out that
the application was confusing as to size (j)f the sign and will be clarified. It
was opted to grant a certificate of review as conditioned: "That the applicant
review apppropriate type faces for this sign." Smith moved that, "In consider-
ation of the aforementioned findings lined conclusions, the HPC finds that the

Port Townsend Historic District and that a certificate of review be granted".

There was discussion concerning whether design review applicants should be
given more guidance on which type fonts are appropriate to the buildings in the
Historic Districts, since they are, for the most part, older structures. It was
decided to emphasize the stated guidlines concerning same when applicants first
come in to begin the process to heighten their awareness of the requirement.
Sepler was asked if he has an answer yet to the question raised at the last
meeting concerning refunds for successful appeals. He is still checking.

successive terms of a Historic Preservation Commissioner. It was decided that
it's not an issue right now but might need to be considered at a later date.
